What is Pain ? How can iMRS PEMF Help?
Pain is considered a major clinical, social, and economic problem in communities around the world. The prevalence of chronic pain conditions range from 37.3% in developed countries to 41.1% in developing countries, with an overall prevalence of 38.4% worldwide[1]. One in five Europeans suffers from pain, half of them are in moderate to severe pain every day[2].
But pain also has a purpose: it serves as a warning signal that informs the body about impending or already occurred damage. So, acute pain has an important role to play in maintaining or restoring physical integrity. However, it gets dangerous when pain becomes chronic.
Whether acute or chronic, strong or long-lasting, dull or stinging, pain represents an enormous physical and emotional burden for those affected. Thus, pain is not only a pure sense sensation, but also an unpleasant emotional event.
In addition, the health insurances and healthcare providers face unbelievable financial burdens, not only directly from the treatment of pain but also indirectly in the form of pain-related loss of work and consequential illnesses such as depression.
Current medical approaches to pain therapy include pharmacological, surgical and physical options. Although many patients can be provided with pain relief in this way, not all of them respond to or are suitable for these options, and on the other hand, drug and surgical therapy approaches are not without negligible risk potentials.
In this newsletter, we want to take a closer look at the development, processing, and treatment of pain, and what role PEMFs can play in it.
